No One Has Got A Perfect Score On This English Word Test. Will You?

If it’s been a while since you left school, you may have forgotten some of the rules of the English language and you find yourself focusing on just the conversational aspect. But it’s important to be familiar with basic English grammar rules in order to ensure good written English.

Are you able to distinguish between words that sound similar? “Their”, “they’re”, and “there” all sound the same but they mean different things and should not be used interchangeably. The same rule applies to words like “its” and “it’s”, “your” and “you’re”. Are you well-versed with your punctuation marks such as apostrophes? You’ll need that knowledge, and much more, to score well on this quiz.

It’s time for you to take on this tough test on English grammar and vocabulary. This quiz will challenge your understanding of basic grammar rules, synonyms, antonyms, spelling, and the meaning of some tough words. So far, no one has been able to achieve the full score. Will you be the first?
